A Superb Clinician Takes Aim at An Impossible Social Topic, Female Violence, and renders Important Truths for all of us It is difficult to think of writing a book review about female violence and then say I loved it but I did. This is a superbly written book, updated and well referenced. Dr. Motz has accomplished the impossible, making a technical clinical book about an unspoken topic in forensic psychology that is female violence, both scientific and superbly readable.

Excellent book it describes very well the criminality of women and the motives behind it. Very readable despite the presence of psychiatric terminology
